Summary
Wagner Santos is a Principal Engineer based in Minas Gerais, Brazil, with 11 years of experience building front-end-first web platforms and production services. He brings deep React and Next.js expertise (5+ years) paired with backend API work in Node.js (NestJS) and Ruby on Rails, and routinely bridges dev and ops through Kubernetes, Terraform and CI/CD automation. At Moteefe he drove cross-cutting improvements—microservice libraries, observability, scalable templates, and front-end testing patterns—that reduced cognitive overhead for teams and improved performance at scale. He combines hands-on engineering with SRE-minded practices, owning performance testing and scaling configuration rather than leaving them to ops. Notably, he shapes developer experience as much as product features, creating templates and patterns that make code easier to write, test and maintain.
